He advised 3 obtainable OL names that we could sign to bolster our OL immediately (from a list of several other options). I like all of his recommendations, though a 36 year old LT is a little risky.
Using our Mock Draft Machine, here is a scenario that complements the free-agent moves to strengthen the roster.
- Round 1, Pick 6 : QB Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh - The best quarterback in the draft.
- Round 4, Pick 104 : IOL Alec Lindstrom, Boston College - Experienced center to add depth along the interior.
- Round 5, Pick 142 : IDL John Ridgeway, Arkansas - Adds much-needed depth to the interior defensive line.
- Round 5, Pick 147 : LB Jack Sanborn, Wisconsin - Potential running mate for Shaq Thompson and a downhill presence.
- Round 6, Pick 198 : OT Zach Tom, Wake Forest - Developmental swing tackle that offers positional versatility.
- Round 7, Pick 248 : TE Gerrit Prince, UAB - Converted wide receiver that has an appealing ceiling as a pass-catching threat.

This article gives me hope. I would not be opposed to this set of moves at all. We would be in much better shape.
